Do I have to constantly be doing something in order to feel good
Because the minute I decide I won’t do anything I’m getting sad. Electronics make me sad too.

@Unlearn firstly because it’s the attempt of connection, I get like a tiny bit of the connection I’m hoping for, which leads me to stay longer and longer till I feel I managed to connect a bit.
Secondly, it’s the perception it creates in me that something is happening, like in tv and old people, only to realise that not much have happened after a few hours.
Thirdly is the medium in itself that isn’t multi sensory, meaning it’s leaving my sense of touch, feeling the space and smell unsatisfied.
I can go on. I usually eat crap while looking at a screen too, without realising.. my body position isn’t the very best. And ultimately my mind, even that isn’t truly being stimulated all that much ..

@being From what I can understand you expect to feel alive, if not thrilled by electronic devices. You get disappointed when they don't live up to your expectations. Also, you seem like someone who believes that one has to be constantly doing something and be productive. Time isn't to be wasted. Maybe you feel a little guilty after you have spent enough time with electronics but it failed to deliver what you expected of it...
